Snowy Macro Monday

It's funny, this is the snow we had a couple of weeks ago that was mostly gone when we got our super snow a few days ago. Now things are even more beautiful. Definitely feeling like Christmas. Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday!

Making my first sock

The first sock I am attempting is just done on two needles. After that I will try the double pointed needle, working in rounds way.

Snow!

Knitting Bag

I took a break from knitting yesterday to make a couple of knitting bags, lol. Now I can take my obsession with me.





I can think of so many great uses for these bags! What would you do with one?

Knitting needle caddy.

Zippered mini iPad case

iPad mini cover

Because I can't find a zippered cover for my mini iPad with Smart Cover I decided to make my own. I love that my Janome Horizon has this special even-feed foot.

My nose took these photos - no lie!

A friend of ours made these wristlets for me last winter and I love them! As a child my mom had a knitter friend and I always admired her creations. For years, I have admired the sock patterns that abound in this frozen tundra I live in, and have wanted to learn to knit them. Amanda, the maker of these colorful hand warmers, and that desire to make socks, inspired me to try my hand at knitting.



This is where I'm at so far.  I made this simple pair.  I'll just keep clicking my needles and working my way down to the smaller yarns until I get there.

Btw, how do you take a photo of both your hands with your iPhone?  I sat the phone on a box, placed a stapler on the edge to keep it from falling off, then stood on a chair and poked the screen with my nose to make the camer click, lol.

Knitting Macro Monday

Busy, busy.  Knitting has quickly become my obsession, lol.

Big, Bigger, Biggest Macro Monday

My son thought I looked like I needed a thousand calories and brought me my favorite candy. I had no idea how big they make them nowadays! :0) YUM!

Shadow Macro Monday

While I had my nose in these beautiful cone flowers I happened to notice. . .



They looked so happy and carefree! Ahhh, those warmer days will come again.

Knitted headband

My second knitted project is this cool headband slash ear warmer.

Practice makes perfect

It's been 24 years since I held knitting needles. Back then, I was pregnant with my third child and determined to make him an afghan. I succeeded in teaching myself and he got his afghan lol

While I teach myself the stitches again, (you didn't expect me to remember them this long did you?) I am making my husband a simple scarf. It is my hope to finally teach myself how to make socks. Fingers crossed.
